I don't get why the writers are so afraid to make a major move. In its first season, Dynasty had its main character Blake Carrington kill (albeit accidentally, but still) his son's gay lover. It didn't have significant consequences for the character, but it was a bold move and it did directly lead to Joan Collins's Alexis being introduced the following season (and the rest is history). That was 1981. Why can't the writers of Revenge, in 2012, be a little more gutsy?

At least Daniel shot Tyler first and it wasn't in self-defense. That's the only thing that kept me from throwing my remote at the TV. But still, very lame.

I feel like that was just thrown in to keep people from being pissed about the Takeda twist.

I can just hear the writers: "Hey, let's have Tyler be the one who dies... because, you know, we can't allow anything of consequence to happen on this show, and we can't let the killer be one of our main characters because that might force us to move the plot along, so let's pin it on Takeda... and just incase people get pissed, let's write it so Daniel fires at least one shot so we can pretend like we have balls even though we have none."

You might be right about that.

It's very frustrating. I don't understand what the point of this plot is now. One peripheral character gets killed by another peripheral character -- so what? How is this going to affect the long-term story in any major way? I'm trying to stay optimistic, but it just keeps getting more difficult to do so.

Unfortunately, the writers can't end the show after just one season, so they're going to do everything they can to drag it out and hope that the love triangles and legal dramas and such will keep us entertained in the meantime.

It's working for me, LoL.

I know this show isn't the greatest written on the air by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just thrilled to finally have an honest-to-goodness primetime soap again (as opposed to pseudo-soap posers like Desperate Housewives and others of its ilk). That being said, I'm genuinely enjoying Revenge.

Speaking of that scene, I've always liked Chad Michael Murray as Tristan. The character was like Logan....except he was actually likable. And he had great chemistry with Alexis Bledel. I don't know if CMM chose to leave or if it was the writers' decision, but it's a shame he didn't stick around longer.

I think part of it was that he got the role of Lucas on One Tree Hill

But that was in 2001...nearly two years before One Tree Hill began. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it just seems very early.

Well, maybe I'll feel differently if I end up re-watching the series again down the line. Lol. I just feel like he's such an ass to Laura, who clearly doesn't deserve it, but still puts up with it. Laura's actually becoming one of my favorite characters. She's much more of a reserved person compared to both Karen and Val (both of whom I also love), and is probably the one that I find the most interesting so far.

Oh, Richard is definitely a pathetic ass, for sure. But he's also one of the most fascinating characters throughout all 14 seasons of the show, I think, and his friendship with Karen is one of the show's most interesting relationships.

Laura is actually my favorite character. Constance McCashin is just perfection. The best actress on the show (after Julie Harris, of course). And when you have one character driven by her self-loathing (Laura) and one characterized by self-destructiveness (Richard) together, it's just great TV.

Well, I'm officially in love with this show. I just finished the first season and can't wait to see Donna Mills/Abby come on as I start the second. Every character on the canvas I enjoy watching, except probably for Richard Avery. What an ASS!

Yes, I hated Richard the first time I watched Knots Landing, too. It wasn't until my second or third run-through of the series that I came to appreciate what a great, compelling character he actually is. He's such a Willy Loman-esque loser, but John Pleshette is so good that he makes you (or at least me) feel kind of sorry for him in spite of his behavior. Richard's now one of my favorite KL characters.

Kenny and Ginger, on the other hand, are a complete waste of time and space.

I didn't care for the series finale at all. Too self-indulgent on the part of the writers, I think. Too much "Rory is the greatest thing ever!" (I mean, that big party all for Rory? Really?) and "Luke and Lorelai are made for each other!" dialogue. The show, at its best, was more sophisticated than that. And Richard and Emily were practically treated as an afterthought.

But at least Rory and Logan didn't end up together -- a major bright spot right there.

Although I'm relieved the body isn't Daniel, I do agree that it should have been someone other than Tyler. I'm just hoping that the killer doesn't turn out to be Amanda. That would be lame and predictable. If the victim isn't a major character, then the killer needs to be.

Ahhh....I LOVED tonight's episode! I was actually on the edge of my seat for the entire hour.

Seriously. Why can't any of the daytime soaps be even a fourth as suspenseful or exciting?

Even though I know Daniel dying would have carried far more dramatic weight, I can't be too upset at the outcome as I love Josh Bowman. I know there will definitely be some people that are disappointed, though.

You should definitely go ahead and watch the first two seasons, even if the rest of KL never sees the light of day on DVD. They're just great. (.....Although the end of Season 2 will definitely make you want to keep watching.)

As for Falcon Crest, its second season was released, but it's only available via manufacture-on-demand on the WB website, I believe.

Does anyone else think that if the upcoming continuation of "Dallas" turns out to be successful that we might see a season three DVD release for "Knots"? Surely, the DVD sales of the older sets for "Dallas" will see a bump and maybe the WB will give Knots another chance. What do you guys think?

Sadly, I think that's pretty much our last hope at seeing further DVD releases of KL -- at least by WB.

My dream scenario would be for Shout!, which has acquired the rights to numerous television shows that had either been discontinued -- or never released at all -- and given them proper DVD sets, to do the same for KL. The show would probably get better treatment (in terms of extras/special features) from them than it would through WB, anyway.
